    WT46809: How to fix Green bleed?

    Ok. I took a look at it last night real quick, and maybe I am crazy, but it looks like it is getting better. The green bleed to the right of the guide displays looked pretty good, and I didn't really do anything to fix it. I am a little puzzled... If anyone knows what may have caused the green...

    WT46809: How to fix Green bleed?

    The convergence grid look very good, and the green is kinda a smeared looking type. It also happens on light blues and such which are present in my satellite guides. It is a very bright green, not faded or anything, but bright and vibrant. probably smeared about half a letter when it appears in...

    WT46809: How to fix Green bleed?

    I recently moved and the moving company stored and transported my Mits 46809 on its side, which is fine, because when I worked for a local electronics store a few years back we did the same thing, as do the manufacturers. My set now has a green bleed around the right edges of every thing. It...

    Best Home Theater Speaker Packages

    I purchased the JBL NSP1 (II) package in August and added a JBL PB-12 sub. (I also splurged a little bit and bought myself a Denon 3802!). In any case, the NSP1 set is amazing for the price, IMO you can't get a better speaker for that low price. It has good response at low freqs and sounds great...

    Should I turn off my sub when not in use?

    Just wondering. I have a JBL PB12. Someone told me once that some people have trouble with the amp on the sub if you don't turn it off regularly when it is not in use. What you guys think?

    Just buy the 3802??

    OK. I am having some difficulty in choosing a receiver. Originally, I had just wanted to wait for the 1803 to come out in Aug/Sept and get it. As it appears, it will have the specs of the 2802 and the power of the 1802, which seems to me to be very nice. Since I want to hold on to this receiver...

    Best RPTV under $2500?

    In most cases the red push on the Mits line is around 25% or a little above that. Manufacturers set this at the factory (along with the infamous "torch mode", let's not get started on that) to help the sets look more appealing under the bright fluorescent lighting akin to so many retailers. Why...

    I have a Denon 2802 and have just bought a JBL nsp1 system and the PB12. My question is what kind of cables should I use to connect this.
